Health bosses in North East Lincolnshire fear a second wave could hit the area hard because of complacency.

There's been around 260 positive cases in the area during the pandemic.

It means many people won't know anyone who has had covid-19.

But, in the last week alone case numbers have doubled in the area.

Geoff Barnes, North East Lincs deputy director of public health thinks they'll increase even more over the next 4 months.
